Try It!
- Copy the XML data (books.xml), and paste it into a text file. Save the file as books.xml.
- Copy the XSD listing (books.xsd), and paste it into a text file. Save the file as books.xsd in the same directory where you saved books.xml.
- Create a Standard EXE project in Visual Basic Save the empty project as length.vbp to the same directory where you saved books.xml and books.xsd. Name the form file length.frm.
- Create a reference to MSXML 5.0. To do this, select References... from the Project menu, then check the box for Microsoft XML, v50.
- Copy the Visual Basic code above, and paste it into the form_load subroutine.
- Execute the code selecting Start from the Run menu.
- Verify that your output is the same as that listed in Output for the length Example.
